just wondering how illegal it was or even if it were illegal, if i "were" to do it, it would be from say smith feild to campbelltown.......pretty much krispy kreme liverpool to campbelltown 😉

like that set up that had pic's on here before. straight bar goes from towball to the front beam of the car being towed.

seems like as long as both vehicles are registered and the towed vehicle doesn't exceed the weight regsit ok,

if its over 700kg, you need brakes on the towed vehicle, that means just putting a driver in to operate the brakes when the tow car brakes,

others correct me if I'm wrong...

I couldn't find anything on the RTA website kyboshing it. 😉
